Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:24:33 GMT

As usual, September is the closest Colorado will get to the cold-weather thrills of playoff baseball. The Rockies can try to conjure a little October excitement from time to time, but the real postseason contenders often arrive to put the last-place teams in their place.The Rockies coughed up a ninth-inning lead Monday night to drop their series opener 5-4 to the Cubs at Coors Field. Brenton Doyle singled home tying and go-ahead runs in the seventh, but Yan Gomes returned the favor in the top of the ninth, handing Tyler Kinley a blown save and Colorado (51-91) its fifth consecutive loss.Aside from a three-run seventh, Colorado only mustered four hits as the summer heat and long-fly-ball tendencies of the Front Range chilled out, a reminder that this unflattering 2023 season is almost over.

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:24:33 GMT

FORT COLLINS — Shilo Sanders took an official visit to Canvas Stadium as a Texas teenager back in December 2018, two CSU coaches ago. How different this little tale could’ve gone.“Deion Sanders had had a lot of public critics. I’m not one of them,” the current Rams football coach, Jay Norvell, said to lead off his Monday news conference in FoCo.“I really respect all head coaches and the sacrifices that they’ve had to make to become head coaches. And I appreciate the path that they have to go through to get there, and especially African American coaches. And so I was happy to see Deion get his opportunity. I had to wait a long time to get mine.”History says the Rams, who are coming off a bye and into the cauldron of Folsom Field Saturday for the Rocky Mountain Showdown, have the right man in Norvell. But the Twilight Zone says Coach Prime and his family might’ve looked pretty good in green and gold, too.And in the case of Shilo and Shed...
